+The following are examples of sh_flowtime.d.
+
+This is a simple script to trace the flow of Bourne shell functions,
+builtins and external commands. Here it traces the example program,
+Code/Shell/func_abc.sh.
+
+ # sh_flowtime.d
+ C TIME(us) FILE DELTA(us) -- NAME
+ 0 3060817866026 func_abc.sh 2 -> func_a
+ 0 3060817866086 func_abc.sh 60 > echo
+ 0 3060818871601 func_abc.sh 1005514 | sleep
+ 0 3060818871639 func_abc.sh 38 -> func_b
+ 0 3060818871684 func_abc.sh 44 > echo
+ 0 3060819881597 func_abc.sh 1009912 | sleep
+ 0 3060819881657 func_abc.sh 60 -> func_c
+ 0 3060819881717 func_abc.sh 60 > echo
+ 0 3060820891613 func_abc.sh 1009896 | sleep
+ 0 3060820891661 func_abc.sh 47 <- func_c
+ 0 3060820891675 func_abc.sh 14 <- func_b
+ 0 3060820891683 func_abc.sh 7 <- func_a
+ ^C
+
+As each function is entered, the third column is indented by 2 spaces. This
+shows which function is calling who - the output above begins by showing that
+func_a() began, and then called func_b().
+
+The DELTA(us) column is interpreted as follows,
+
+ -> previous line to the start of this function
+ <- previous line to the end of this function
+ > previous line to the end of this builtin
+ | previous line to the end of this command
+
+And so the above output shows that each sleep command is taking around 1.0
+seconds to execute.
+
+If the output looks shuffled, check the CPU "C" and "TIME" columns, and
+post sort based on TIME if necessary.
+
+See Notes/ALLflow_notes.txt for important notes about reading flow outputs.
